The fact that you took the time to post this tells me that you have one of the most severe cases of TDS on record. You should be ashamed of yourself for believing this and don't you even try and say "I was just kidding" because you absolutely, 100% to your core believe this piece. Sad
so where does everyone lands on this? Multiple intelligence streams suggest Russians paying bounties for US troops, Trump not briefed: official Lawmakers are calling for answers over the reports By Jennifer Griffin, Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News Multiple intelligence threat streams indicated Russian intelligence operatives offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. troops, but while the National Security Council met recently to come up with a number of responses to the report, it did not brief President Trump, Fox News has learned. According to a senior U.S. official who has been briefed on the matter, members of the NSC recently met at the White House to discuss “a menu of responses” to reports they had received about Russian actions in Afghanistan. The official said that the information the NSC received was based on “several streams of intelligence of concern” with some of it being contradictory and some open to interpretation. “When developing intelligence assessments, initial tactical reports often require additional collection and validation. In general, preliminary Force Protection information is shared throughout the national security community—and with U.S. allies—as part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of coalition forces overseas. Leaks compromise and disrupt the critical interagency work to collect, assess, and ascribe culpability,” CIA Director Gina Haspel said in a statement. “Hostile states’ use of proxies in war zones to inflict damage on U.S. interests and troops is a constant, longstanding concern. CIA will continue to pursue every lead; analyze the information we collect with critical, objective eyes; and brief reliable intelligence to protect U.S. forces deployed around the world.” News that Moscow allegedly offered bounties to Afghan militants who killed U.S. soldiers was first reported over the weekend in the New York Times.
A few points. 1st, the NYT reported it was in 2019 when a total of 20 troops died. They couldn't point to a single death because of this. 2nd, its not that outlandish. I mean, we arm "insurgents"..... Different strokes for different folks. 3rd, its probably true, however they probably never "verified" and even if they did, its a giant fuck show out there. The NYT just ran with a story with a bit of truth and covered it in shit to throw and Trump. 4th, do not think that for a second we dont have some type of retaliatory action. Hopefully, we dont leak it like retards like the left wants. However, whatever we do, it wont start WWIII like the left wants.
the concern is that it was included in the pdb in written form but not verbally briefed. this goes to the dems charge that trump is in bed with russia..... a continuation of, and an attempt to prop up and give legitimacy to the mueller report. the problem is if the info was in the pdb and no action was taken.... will be very hard to explain
Actually, that has NOT be verified and they are saying the NYT story is false that it was in the PDB. From the sounds of it, there might be a report, but it wont make it to the PDB until its verified, which sounds like it wasn't and now will never be thanks to the NYT.... IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF's dont fly
Key sentence. if it cant be corroborated then it isn't passed up the chain, unless it's very time sensitive.
